    Abstract
    Reports results of a study that examined factors influencing the adoption and use of electronic networks by science and engineering faculty in 6 small universities in the southerneaster USA. Part of the study gathered data on the purpose, type, and extent of electronic communications. Data were gathered by mail questionnaire and by follow up site visits. Reports on 5 types of network use, electronic mail, electronic discussion groups, accessing remote databases, accessing remote computer facilities, and file transfer. For each service, data are reported for frequency of use by purpose: research, teaching administration, social and current awareness. Outlines preliminary use indicators for each service in terms of heavy and moderate use

    Abstract
    Predicts that, as electronic reference services continue to broaden in scope and complex requests are negotiated by remote users via electronic mail, the e-mail reference interview will become commonplace. The difficulties of conducting e-mail reference interviews have been noted in the literature, but resaerch in this area is lacking. Reports results of a 3 phased project at the College of Library and Information Services (CLIS), Maryland University, to study the process. Discusses differences between e-mail reference interviews and those conducted using other media; presents a taxonomy of approaches to e-amil reference interviews; proposes the use of a systematic approach, and describes a model e-mail reference interview. Results suggest that reference interviews can be conducted via e-amil for some complex questions. However, further testing is required by experienced intermediaries working under the pressures of client deadlines and institutional constraints
